I knew his music when I lived in Quebec one year (in 74) and I even stayed in his hometown Ste Pacome on a ski de fond adventure. (The town is on the cover of his Four Seasons album). But when I heard him mentioned in a k drama I think I screamed out loud I was so happy. Some of these songs sound familiar to me from k drama. 감사합니다 gamsahabnida!
I love André Gagnon. I grew up hearing this beautiful music, not even aware of how much it was part of every day life in Québec. Thank you for this endless beauty, thank you for your so beautiful soul Mr. Gagnon. Merci, de tout coeur.
MERCI! Votre merveilleuse musique a éveillé la conscience musicale de mes enfants qui sont des adultes musiciens...! Quelle plénitude que votre musique! Merci+!
I thought I knew most of the musicians, but I was not familiar with Mr. Gagnon. I heard one of his selections on the radio and fell in love with the selection instantly. After doing research, I was sadden to hear he passed away in 2020. May he rest in peace. He will never be forgotten by me. I am a fan for life.
Gagnon had already put out about 15 albums before Yiruma was born, and a similar number by the time Yiruma was 20. Since Gagnon was very popular in Japan, I'm guessing that he was much influenced by Gagnon.
